Job description

Overview

Commission-Based Business Development Partner (Freelance)

XBV | Modern consulting for bold companies

We're building a smarter kind of consulting firm. Fast, lean, and digital-native. XBV delivers high-impact solutions in AI/ML, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and execution consulting. Now, we’re expanding our reach, and we want you to be part of it.

The role

We’re looking for freelance business development partners to help us identify and engage new clients. This is a fully commission-based role, ideal for high-energy networkers, consultants, or sales professionals seeking flexible, remote-first work.

As a BD partner, you will:

• Identify potential clients
• Initiate outreach via email/LinkedIn using our marketing materials and outreach tool
• Qualify interest and set up intro calls for the XBV leadership team (we handle the close)
• Collaborate with us on improving outreach tactics and refining pitch materials

What we provide

• A proprietary tool to generate tailored outreach emails based on client information and our service offering
• Ready-to-send pitch decks, use cases, and product materials
• Short training sessions on XBV’s services and pitch strategy
• Opportunities to do project-based consulting work as well (additional income), if your skills are aligned to the project deliverables

What we are looking for

• Self-starters with experience in consulting, IT/B2B sales, tech services, or corporate BD
• Strong written communication skills (most outreach is email-based)
• Comfortable with qualifying leads, understanding buyer pain points, and initiating meaningful conversations
• Professional networkers and confident communicators, fluency in English required, other EU languages a plus

Compensation

• Competitive commission-only model, percentage of deal
• No cap on earnings
• Typically the deals in our industry are at least 5-figure (euro)
• Under separate agreements, you may have the opportunity to do project-based consulting work

Work style

• 100% remote
• Flexible hours
• No micromanagement – just results and support

Governance and collaboration expectations

To ensure fairness to all collaborators and secure business operations:

• All BD partners operate under a non-circumvention and non-competition agreement
• Target industries or regions may be allocated based on focus, availability, skill-set
• You will be embedded in our secure IT environment and receive XBV email credentials
• You’re expected to follow our brand tone and messaging guidelines (provided in the onboarding pack) when communicating externally
• You’ll have access to a dedicated point of contact at XBV for any questions, feedback, or commercial discussion

What’s in it for you

At XBV, we move fast, think boldly, and back our people. As a freelance BD partner, you’ll be part of a modern execution firm offering the tools, backing, and flexibility to build meaningful client relationships and earn on real value creation, not empty promises.

Beyond commission, this role offers direct exposure to how real consulting work gets done in fields like AI, cybersecurity, IT transformation, and strategy. You will sharpen your outreach and client qualification skills, learn how modern tech services are sold and delivered, and gain insights that most sales roles never offer. It’s a chance to earn and to grow with a firm built on real delivery.
